KEM Arrow Black and Gold, Bridge Size- Standard Index Playing Cards (Pack of 2), Arrow Black/Gold

Love these cards. They are high quality and well made. They feel very good in your hands, are easy to shuffle, and deal.

I play cards every Wednesday with my girlfriends and the KEM washable, sturdy cards are what we have been using years. Hands down! Their quality is worth every penny.

Cards do not stick together and are easy to deal. They are made of a soft, pliable plastic material so they aren't damaged by bending, and they don't tear. Good for kid and adult card games. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Honestly, a deck of cards isn't worth 25 bucks. Bicycles cost 2 bucks a pack. That said, KEM bridge like butter straight out of the pack, and barring some massive accident, they should remain perfect for life. Plastic doesn't absorb anything. If you're buying an "at home" deck to last you years and years, this is the one.

Kem Cards, while expensive, are long-lasting and superior in quality. Spots wore off of my previous decks of plastic cards (not Kem). Since I last bought Kem Cards, there have been a few changes: the card backs have a light texture feel; the decks are easier to shuffle without much slipping; dealing is smoother, easier, even for arthritic hands.

Right out of the box, these were the most comfortable, flexible and smooth cards I’ve used! Buy Now

After playing one hour and thirty minutes the paint and (it looks like) the clear film over the paint on back and front of all cards started to flake out to the point that our hands and clothes got bunch of them all over. I took a closed up image of the cards and my shorts so you can see the speckles. It smells like chemical after the films? and paints starts to peel off. DO NOT eat or drink with open containers if you play with these cards to be safe. Box says KEM and made in U.S.A. I used to have a deck of KEM cards years ago and they were top notch quality, very bright and durable colors, but these cards lack those quality for sure, and I'm not sure what the reason is! If somebody else has same or different experience with these cards, I'm interested to know please. If I get another set of KEM playing cards that do not fall apart I will keep you updated.

I grew up in a family that played all their card games with KEM cards. Over 20 years later, we still play with those same exact cards. Since these cards are 100% plastic, they don't get bent as easily and they will not get ruined by water (or coffee as was the case in my family). Remembering how well KEM cards held up, and starting my own family game nights, I decided to get some of these cards knowing they would last a long time. While they certainly don't have a true paper feel and tend to be a little on the slippery side, they are great cards and we look forward to the many game nights to come.
